Abstract:

Based on the survey of Mongolia Berger camel milk nursing home, good results had been achieved using camel milk nursing on patients with kidney diseases for adjuvant therapy. In order to understand effects of camel milk on patients with kidney disease, 73 patients were randomly selected and divided into four groups according to their age. Specific gravity (SG), pH, protein (PRO) and glucose (GLU) in urine were analyzed before and after nursing. Through comparison of urine test between before and after nursing, SG were significantly decreased (P < 0.01) in patients aged 5×14 years old; SG (P < 0.01), PRO (P < 0.05), GLU (P < 0.05) were significantly reduced in patients aged 15-29 years old; SG (P < 0.01) and GLU (P < 0.05) were significantly reduced in patients aged 30-44 years old; SG (P < 0.05) and pH (P < 0.05) were significantly decreased in patients aged 45-59 years old. These results indicated that camel milk nursing might regulate biochemical compositions in the urine of patients with kidney diseases and play a role in adjuvant therapy.
